On Veterans Day I Celebrated with My Heroes
On Veterans Day when I was at the VA celebrating with my heroes, I found out their theater was out of commission and they didn’t have a place to watch movies.
I told them I’d set up a movie night, and I called my friends at Skydance and Paramount and asked if we could bring these real action heroes to their fancy screening room and shown them Running Man, since I’d enjoyed it there. They said of course.
I rented two buses to pick everyone up at the VA last night, and a week after hearing about the problem we had a solution. There heroes got a great night they deserved.
I wanted to share this because we all have power if we are willing to act. Most people would just post on social media: “it’s bogus our vets can’t watch movies at the VA.” That doesn’t get them into a movie.
Sure, most people can’t get a screening room and buses. But you could buy one veteran a movie ticket and do more good than any social media post.
Do good, whenever you can. That’s your greatest power, and don’t let anyone take it away from you. Not government, not social media, not politicians.
When you want to complain about something bad, say, “what good can I do?”
